The most courageous pirate hunter

In the sky above a certain place in the new world, a figure traversed thousands of miles in an instant, rushing towards an island. It was Hermes, who had left Venus.

After thinking it over for the past two days, he decided to personally capture Vegapunk.

According to information obtained from Caesar and Borsalino, Vegapunk is just a grumpy old man with a big head who ate the Paramecia-type Brain-Brain Fruit.

They should currently be on Egerhard Island, which belongs to the World Government.

When Hermes first transmigrated, he guessed that Vegapunk was an extremely terrifying big boss, a mysterious being who could rival Im. Little did he expect that he was just a weak scientist.

If we want to conduct interstellar exploration, it would be too slow to rely solely on Caesar, Queen, Judge, and other scientists. In addition, Vegapunk has a very deep understanding of Devil Fruits.

I hadn't thought of it before, but now that I have, I must seize the opportunity to work for the Imperial Organization.

Furthermore, Hermes needs to absorb some knowledge about the human body so that it will be easier for him to cultivate the return of life.

"This is Egherd?"

few minutes.

Hermes stood high in the sky looking down at the island. It was indeed a technological island, and it had been transformed in a very unique way. His figure appeared out of thin air outside the research room.

The entire island was now covered by Hermes' Observation Haki.

It's a pity Hermes arrived too late, otherwise he would have met Chaton and Gion, as well as the Seraphim who was known as the strongest human, but they have all left now.

"Hey Hey hey!"

"This is?"

On the top floor of the research lab, a monitor screen clearly showed Hermes at the door. A figure who had been observing from his seat was startled and jumped up.

When the light shone on her, she was clearly a cute girl with long hair and freckles. She was wearing goggles, an underwear with "PUNK06" printed on it, a thick jacket over it, gloves, and only underwear on her lower body with long boots.

It was because Vegapunk was busy with many research projects that he created six clones who called themselves "Vegapunk," and the cute girl in the picture is York, who represents desire.

The other five are the righteous Buddha, Lilith representing evil, Edison representing thought, Pythagoras representing wisdom, and Atlas representing rage.

"Notify us, notify us."

"The world's most courageous man, the Hunter King Hermes Jormungandr, who holds numerous titles, has invaded Egerhard."

York immediately shouted into the communicator.

For a moment, several figures from other directions in the research institute, including Vegapunk's main body, were shocked. How could such a powerful figure come to Eghard?

Oops.

Momousagi and Chaton have already left with Seraphim. If the Hunter King attacks now, they will be in great danger.

"Go to the top floor, where is the main body?"

In a certain part of the research lab, Shakya, representing Vegapunk's integrity, spoke to the air. Soon, the other clones also sprang into action, calling out for Vegapunk's main body everywhere.

"I'm in the holographic projection research institute."

As the main body spoke, the other clones breathed a sigh of relief.

Those who are good do not come, and those who come are not good. The Hunter King's appearance here is probably for his true form, or he knows about the Seraph Project. In short, he is an enemy, not a friend.

At this moment, in the holographic projection research institute, there was a person with rosy cheeks, white hair, a headdress that looked like an apple branch, a huge tongue that extended from the mouth to the abdomen, and long, slender legs.

She was wearing DOM shoes that could float and change shape.

A short, elderly man wearing a white research jacket with "SSG" printed on the back and a floral shirt is on the phone.

"Dragon, the King of Hunters has suddenly come to visit. I'm afraid I'm in grave danger."

That's right.

Vegapunk and Dragon know each other, and are even very close friends.

"Damn it, that beast is definitely after you."

“Polsalino has joined Monarch and must know you’re in Eghad.”

Dragon, who was far away at the Revolutionary Army base, planned to attack Egerhard and rescue Vegapunk after learning that Seraphim had been taken away by the Navy. However, Hermes intervened at this time.

Even a fool would know that Jormungandr wasn't visiting Egherd.

outside world.

Hermes, standing at the entrance to the research lab, was surrounded by several figures. Their strange attire clearly indicated that they were CP0 agents, the World Government's informants monitoring Vegapunk, and also serving as guards.

To ensure that Egherd remains under the control of the World Government.

"My Lords, the Hunter King has invaded Egherd."

The six CP0 members, one of whom was the leader, kept a wary eye on Hermes while reporting to the Five Elders of Mary Geoise via Den Den Mushi. His expression behind the mask was extremely solemn and tense.

The shadow of a famous tree.

The man in front of me is the most dangerous person in the world.

"what?"

"Damn Jormungandr."

On the other end of the phone, one of the five elders couldn't help but curse loudly.

"Make sure to protect Vegapunk. The Knights of God will be here to help you soon."

Without thinking too much, the Five Elders mobilized the Knights of God. Vegapunk is currently very important to the World Government; the weapon used by Lord Im to destroy Iijima last time was made by Vegapunk.

Its power is no different from that of ancient weapons.

It's a pity that Jormungandr wasn't killed along with them.

"clear."

The CP0 leader spoke firmly, signaling his subordinates to contact Vegapunk inside the research institute. This time, only the Hunter King was there, while they had six people. The other five would hold him off, and the last one could take Vegapunk away without any problem.

"It...it's gone!"

Suddenly.

Hermes vanished into thin air right before their eyes. All six CP0 members, including York who was watching the monitor screen in the research room, were stunned. How did the other person disappear?

But the next second everyone gaped open in horror.

The light was dim.

A colossal giant, at least a thousand meters tall, appeared, suddenly extending its massive, sky-covering hand and crushing down on Eghad, accompanied by a supreme voice.

"A world in the palm of your hand".

An irresistible force erupted.

The entire island of Egherd began to shrink, becoming the size of a water tank in just a few breaths, and finally hovering in the colossal hand that blotted out the sky. This earth-shattering scene stunned everyone on the spot.

"My body."

Of the six CP0 members, only the leader retained his normal size and was desperately using his Haki to counteract the shrinking force. The other five CP0 members, like the entire Eghardt, had shrunk countless times.

I was almost scared to death when I looked up.

Their leader was like a towering giant, while the Hunter King was like a planet, his eyes alone being equivalent to an island.

"Damn it, what have you done to us?"

The CP0 leader was speechless, stepping on Moonwalk to look at Eghad, which was floating on Hermes' right hand. That was an island.

But now it has been shrunk to the size of a water tank.

Is such a powerful force, capable of encompassing heaven and earth, truly something that humankind can control?

"God's finger."

However, Hermes responded by extending his index finger, which was burning with a purple-white flame that blotted out the sky and stabbed at him. From a distance, it looked like the sky itself.

The area is so wide that it is impossible to avoid.

"Do not!!!"

With the CP0 leader's terrified scream, he couldn't stop the finger from falling despite using all his strength. He was immediately crushed into the sea, and with a deafening roar, a huge hole appeared in the vast ocean, with the surrounding seawater constantly churning in all directions.

A big hand grabs it.

Hermes, holding Egerhead, disappeared.

An island can be taken away in an instant.

Egerhead wasn't very big, at most like a small island, and coincidentally it just happened to be within Hermes's range. The reason he took the island along with the people was that he didn't want to destroy the research facilities on the island.

This allows for faster utilization.

Chapter 470 [Weapons Created by Vegapunk]

"Are the size of the fruit really that terrifying? Even Eghad has been shrunk countless times!"

"We've also shrunk countless times."

On the water tank-sized Eghardt, Vegapunk and his six clones had gathered together, looking out through a holographic projection as they moved rapidly.

Monitoring revealed that it traversed thousands of miles in an instant.
